Art Supply StipendThe Art Supply Stipend is awarded

Why are there Art Materials Class Fees at the high school level?The rising costs of art supplies along with reductions in school funding has impacted the public schools' ability to maintain quality art programs with adequate supplies. In order to do so, many schools require art class fees for their elective art courses.
